Friends of Tanzania/ Marafiki wa Tanzania

FOT is a non-profit charitable and educational organization, a 501(c)(3). Our membership dues of $15 per year have continued to cover all our operating expenses since we started in 1991 due to our increasing membership. 100% of all donations we receive from FOT members goes to help support development projects in Tanzania. Each year FOT is able to send about $30,000 to support such projects and an additional $15,000 is given for specific projects in our Member Designated Program.

Our goals are:

To identify and support worthy projects in Tanzania.
To collect and disseminate information on the life, culture and development of Tanzania.
To bring together people interested in supporting Tanzania.
We are all volunteers in the organization and operate out of the Washington, DC area with a mail box at P.O. Box 9123, Arlington, Virginia 22219-1123. As we are in close proximity to the Tanzanian Embassy, we have had a very good relationship with the Ambassadors to the USA from Tanzania and their staff.
